You might want to try ACeDB, which is used by almost all of
the plant databases. It is available free for most platforms, and
is very customizeable. The learning curve for installation
is a bit steep, but the learning curve for use is very short.
Our entire lab, including transgenic plant lines, hosts,
vectors etc. is organized using ACeDB. I have set up a Web site
showing how you can set up a similar system for your
lab, complete with a sample database and screen shots:
